Manchester United’s pre-season tour was thrown into chaos when they were forced to cancel the Indonesian leg after a bomb exploded at the Jakarta hotel they were due to stay in next week.

Sir Alex Ferguson’s team of multi-millionaire superstars arrived in Kuala Lumpur from England to be told about the carnage in the Indonesian capital, where at least nine people were killed and more than 40 were injured.

They were due to play an Indonesian All-Star squad at the sold-out 100,000-capacity Bung Karno Stadium on Monday on their first-ever trip to the sprawling country and were booked into the Ritz-Carlton.

Manchester United went ahead to Malaysia and played one of the Malaysian teams; a game which they won 3 – 2. They are due to play again on Monday 20th July 2009 against the same team they played.

However; the whole scenario got me thinkin, what if the blasts went off when the team was in the hotel? That would have been the whole team swiped out similar to what happened in Munich.

I wonder what the FA or Premier League does in such scenarios. Anyone knows??

Ye, believe it or not but there are gay penguins in Europe – Germany to be specific. Its reported that two “gay” male penguins have hatched a chick and are now rearing it as its adoptive parents in a German zoo.

The zoo made headlines in 2005 over plans to “test” the sexual orientation of penguins with homosexual traits, the zoo flew in four females in a bid to get the endangered birds to ‘knock the boots till the cops come knockin’ – but quickly abandoned the scheme after causing outrage among gay rights activists.

Who would have thought there are wingwomen floating around doing the same thing wingmen do? Well i do know there are some pretty funny & interesting things in this world so i dont even know why am surprised! So i went out there and dug through some research material and guess what i found?

Sit back, relax, read and get schooled;

A wingwoman is the chick friend who will stay by her chick friends side when they go out and/or dance with while clubbing in order to keep the ugly/creepy/scary guys at bay.

Unlike a Wing Man, this is not the girl who occupies the hot guy’s ugly friend. Unlike women, guys have no problem ditching their friends for the hook-up (they just say, “peace out, man, i gatta handle this bizness” and the discussion is closed). Wing Women are usually hot or at least cute so that they are easy to pass off if there happens to be a not so ugly/creepy/scary guy with whom the other woman would like to hook up. The Wing Woman position may be held simultaneously within a pair or group of women.

The flip side of the issue is there are wingwomen out there for hire; thats right, wingwomen (wingchicks if i may call them) whose daily bread, butter & cosmopolitans is through getting paid as a wing chick. Unlike the normal laws surrounding wingmen/women, these special breed of wingwomen are out there to help dudes and or lesbians hook up.

No, no, no, dont get it twisted, they are not pro’s/prostitues/night fighters, they are just out there to do what wingwomen do but for $$ and the ching is good. A wingchick can get betweeen R300 – R500 bucks and hour. Food and drinks are catered for….

When you’re hitting the bars on the hunt for a girl, it helps to have a skilled buddy at your side to make sure you end up making out instead of striking out. The men often pick a desired woman, who is referred to as the “target”. The man intending to seduce the target is often called the “pilot”. The wingman is expected to back up the pilot, which typically entails talking to the target’s less attractive friend(s) and making comments that will make the pilot seem more attractive.

The wingman motivates the pilot to be social and practice approaching women. He helps the pilot approach pairs and groups of women without the awkwardness of being alone. He will take the less attractive woman of a pair so that the pilot can engage in conversation with the more attractive without interruption. The target may feel more relaxed talking to the pilot while her obligation of entertaining his or her friend is taken care of by the wingman. A group member who disapproves of the pilot’s advances may also be prevented from interfering in a way commonly referred to as “cockblocking” while socially interacting with the wingman.

It’s important that your wingman be your equal in many ways. He shouldn’t be much better looking, fashionable or charming than you — otherwise, you’ll end up becoming his wingman. Likewise, you can’t be far better looking, fashionable or charming either. The goal is to field a team of two equals, not a superstar and a bench warmer.

Oftentimes, the best wingman is a guy just like you, except that he has a serious girlfriend. Because he’s already in a relationship, he has nothing to lose, and will be happy to enjoy a night out and live vicariously through helping you. But even another single buddy with a sense of self-sacrifice can back you up at the bar. Below are top 10 hints of a good wing man;
__________________________________________________________________________________________

Number 10: He understands his mission

If you approach two attractive women, the good wingman will give you first dibs and set about keeping the other one occupied. His interest in her is irrelevant; he’ll act like he’s interested. His skill extends beyond mere distraction; the good wingman will actually elicit and sustain the other girl’s interest while you work her friend.
__________________________________________________________________________________________

Number 9:He keeps you presentable

The good wingman acts as your personal butler for the night, letting you know if there’s a booger hanging out of your nose or toilet paper stuck to your shoe. He’ll give you the heads-up if your breath is bad or if your deodorant is wearing off. He’ll also make sure that you don’t drink too much and start acting like an idiot (very important). He tells you when it’s time to put down the beer and switch to water.
__________________________________________________________________________________________

Number 8:He understands your language

You’ve been in the trenches together. You know your wingman well, and he knows you well. You don’t have to talk to communicate about every situation. He can read your body language, signs and codes, and act accordingly to help your cause.
__________________________________________________________________________________________
Number 7: He prevents interference

There’s usually another guy trying to work the same hot girl that you want to take home. Or sometimes her “friend” will be doing all she can to make sure your target goes home alone. A good wingman can help you overcome this pick, “the cock-block.”

He’ll do so by running his own interference and engaging, at close range, the meddling guy or girl. If it’s a guy, your wingman might get in his way physically and box him out, so you can move in. If it’s a girl, he’ll start a conversation and keep it going long enough for you to do ‘your thang.’
__________________________________________________________________________________________

Number 6: He reads the terrain

The good wingman knows whether to enter the conversation to keep things moving forward or to just back off and let you do your stuff. He can also sense whether you’re barking up the right tree or just wasting time. More importantly, he’s not afraid to tell you so, potentially saving you from a night wasted on a girl who isn’t interested.

Your backup will adapt to every situation. He’ll know when he needs to be talkative and when he needs to keep it shut. He’ll change his colors in an instant, getting involved when appropriate and blending seamlessly into the background when not.
__________________________________________________________________________________________

Number 5: He goes kamikaze

The good wingman will prepare himself for his role and take it seriously. He never hesitates to launch in solo on a table of girls. He has no fear of getting shot down (snipered), physically or mentally. He’ll fire the first shot and soften up the defenses, so you can sweep in from the flank and hit on the hot chikita.
__________________________________________________________________________________________

Number 4: He bigs up his point man

Your wingman should know your heroic deeds to relate to the target girl. He’ll put you in the best possible light and will never make fun of you or put you down. And he always knows just the right time to sneal in a good story to talk you up.
__________________________________________________________________________________________

Number 3: He takes the ugly friend

The good wingman will do anything for the good of the team mission. He’ll even engage the ugly friend, thus providing a cover while you chat with the hot mamacita. He may even take the ugly friend home to get her out of the way — a sacrifice that would truly make him the top gun of wingmen – 4real 4real.
__________________________________________________________________________________________

Number 2: He goes undercover

A good wingman is also a good intelligence agent. He’ll gather info on the desired girl from her friends. He’ll let you know if she has a boyfriend or if she has bisexual tendencies. He’ll find out what her turn-ons and turn-offs are.
__________________________________________________________________________________________

Number 1: He pumps you up

The good wingman is your coach and motivator, fueling you with positive talk and boosting your confidence. He advises you on when to spring into action and when to cool your jets. While you focus on your target, he surveys the whole area, scanning for potential hazards and difficulties and providing valuable intelligence on how to navigate the terrain.
__________________________________________________________________________________________

Now that you dudes know what entails to be a perfect wingman, get out there and get that chick who always comes to your local pub with her friend but remember, you need a proper wingman.

Finally, a good wingman should be able to handle his business even with the lady’s reading this post and taking notes.

Ever asked yourself this question of late? I wondered about his where about for more than a minute and did some research and guess what i found?

DMX was let free after serving over 90 days in jail on drug, fraud, and animal cruelty charges. The rapper was released from “Tent City,” aka the Maricopa County Jail, May 13. His last arrest resulted in an extradition back to Phoenix after attempting to hide out in producer Scott Storch’s Florida mansion.

Just incase some of you dont really know what DMX is about heres some basics about tha kid;

DMX is the only artist in the history of the Billboard Charts to have his first five albums debut at number one on the Billboard Charts.

All four of DMX’s CDs debuted at number 1 on the Billboard charts and each one has gone at least triple platinum. His 5th album, “Grand Champ” was a number 1 debut on the Billboard Pop Charts in September 2003. DMX’s first 4 albums have each sold over 3 million copies in the US alone. DMX is one of the best selling Hip-Hop artists ever

So… what does life after jail hold for Dark Man X? You would have never guessed in a couple of years but the rapper..

“I’m gonna start a TV show called Pain and Perseverance, it’s about how I can reach people that the average person can’t reach because I’m grounded,” he stated. “I’m going to give my first sermon, in the church. That’s going to be incredible for me and hopefully the congregation of that church. I’ve completed my gospel album. On every one of my albums there’s been a gospel song and prayer. Because of my image those songs are never made singles except my sixth album where they did ‘Lord Give Me a Sign.'”

Did i mention he suffers from Bipolar disorder? What a weird disease for a rapper whose hardcore like that!

And there you have it. You figure X will make a proper come back and drop it like it’s hot triple platinum? Drop a comment lets hear whats on your mind…
